Configuring the Communication Protocol To Use With BACS4
There are two main components of the BACS4 management application: the provider component and the client software. A
provider is installed on a server, or managed host, that contains one or more CNAs. The provider collects information on the
CNAs and makes it available for retrieval from a management PC on which the client software is installed. The client software
enables viewing information from the providers and configuring the CNAs.The BACS client software includes a graphical user
interface (GUI) and a command line interface (CLI).
A communication protocol enables communication between the provider and the client software. Depending on the mix of
operating systems (Linux, Windows, or both) on the clients and managed hosts in your network, you can choose an
appropriate communication protocol to use. See
Installing the Broadcom Advanced Control Suite
in the
"Linux Management
Application Installation"
topic for a description of the available communication protocols for each network configuration.
The instructions in this chapter address only the scenario where Windows managed hosts are communicating
with Windows clients.
In these scenarios, you can use either the WMI or the WS-MAN (WinRM) communication protocols.
When you use the driver installer described in this chapter to install both the driver and the management applications, the
provider for both WMI and WS-MAN is installed on the managed host. Additionally, the BACS4 utility is installed on the client.
The following sections provide additional configuration steps for the communication protocol you select.
For Linux installations, the driver is installed separately from the management applications. See
Linux Driver Software
and
see
Linux Management Application Installation
for related instructions.
